You're at the /bits section of an nfoWare.com web site.  This section is part of the nfoWare on-line book devoted to Situating Data.

Here you will find discussion of

• just what, exactly, is a bit?
• just what, abstractly, is a bit?
• just what, conceivably, is a bit?
• just what, experientially, is a bit?
• what use are bits?
• what is there to learn from bits?
• where are all the ways that we see bits around us?
• bits as elements - bits hosted, placed, situated, and organized
• bits as states
• bits as signs
• bits as symbols
• bits as signals
• bits in streams
• bits in arrangements as data
• bits as abstract data types
• bits as (manifest) objects
• bit processing and bit manipulation

This treatment prepares us to consider numerals and pixels and other interesting organizations (notes and sounds?) between the worlds of the abstract, of language, of human experience, of computation, of data, and of manifestations in nature.

This section is in early construction preparations.  There will be further expansion of descriptive material as we get going.

This page, index.htm, is part of the engineering, construction management, maintenance, and infrastructure of nfoWare.com.  You are welcome to explore and see how the site is constructed.   Just don't forget your hard hat.

This is not the main entrance to the bits section.   The entrance is at the bits default page.   If you are unable to reach or navigate beyond the default entry, return later.  The entrance is blocked off whenever the construction crew is blasting in the area.
